The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pam-python' package(s) announced via the DSA-4555-1 advisory. Malte Kraus discovered that libpam-python, a PAM module allowing PAM modules to be written in Python, didn't sanitise environment variables which could result in local privilege escalation if used with a setuid binary. Please install the updated package(s)
